Got my LCS to deliver the Prez TPB, as well as some silver and bronze age Supergirl comics for me today. (seriously if your LCS is doing delivery or pick-up and you're in a position to support them by picking up some things,then consider it; they're going through a rough patch). This is the intersection.
The last issue of the first Supergirl solo title, just has Prez as the president... I don't think his title was intended to be set on Earth-1. But whatever, he's president, deal with it. And Supergirl is going to assassinate him.
3/9 pages
Supergirl foils two assasination attempts against Prez, the first a gunman she spots using x-ray vision on her TV set, the second is a bomb hidden inside a broken antique clock Prez wants to buy. But they were just bait to get Supergirl to fly Prez back to the White House herself.

In the requests thread,
thatnickguy asked about this oddball cover:

I thought I'd go ahead and post a few pages from the story, since (for once) things happen pretty much exactly the way they're shown on the cover. And Elliot S! Maggin's Luthor is always worth posting.

What with many of us getting misty-eyed over the loss of the Superman-Lois Lane marriage, I thought I'd present a story that many of you (especially the young'uns) might never have seen.
Back in the day, Superman was so popular that not only did he have two titles (three if you count Superboy) but his girlfriend Lois Lane and pal Jimmy Olsen had their own spotlight series as well. Eventually, however, sales on these ancillary titles dropped enough that DC decided to merge them along with some other characters into one big book entitled "Superman Family."
It kept the numbering of "Jimmy Olsen" , and eventually reached #200. As a celebration of this milestone, the magazine had an extra-long imaginary story, depicting the future marriage anniversary of Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

I've tried to stick as closely as possible to the 1/3rd rule, so extreme choppiness ahead.
( In the far-distant future of 2000 AD, forty-year old women wear hot pants unironically. )
Next time, more public domain!
